Thirty years ago, Kovalam was a picture perfect tropical beach; a
traditional fishing village providing fresh fish, fruits and toddy
(coconut beer). Today this tiny beach is the focus of a multi-million
dollar business, drawing thousands of tourists for a week dose of ozone,
UV and a refreshing Indian Experience. Kovalam was brought to the public
eye by the Maharaja of Travancore. Over the past three decades, the place
has been well developed, and now figures prominently on the world tourism
map. Kovalam is just 16 km away from Trivandrum. Today Kovalam beach is
known as the "Paradise of the South".
Its scenic beauty and serenity is supplemented by the availability of
excellent accommodation . There are a lot of restaurants which provide
western style food as well as Indian, which is delicious. The grilled
seafood items such as lobster, king prawns and kalamari are got fresh from
the sea at Kovalam. Ayurvedic massage parlors, yoga centers and water
sport facilities, makes Kovalam a popular haven for tourists from all over
the globe.
It is warm and clean filled
with the coconut trees and the white sand bed as the sea breeze gently
plays with the waves. Swimming and bathing are very refreshing and
exhilarating in the waves. One can walk into the sea for about 100 metres
without loosing ground. This cove is also the safest place for swimming.
At many coastal places there are beautiful patches of coral reefs. The
underwater views, which are visible during snorkeling, are really
marvelous.
Azure water and favorable climate make Kovalam a favorite year-round spot
for swimming. Sea here is pacific and shallow where you can take a dip in
the saline waters. The clean white sandy beach will arouse a temptation
irresistible: to lie idle on the sands and tan your body. You could get
into any of the Ayurvedic massage centre and indulge in a rejuvenating
herbal, body-toning massage and holistic therapies.
Highly commercialized and very crowded through most of the year, Kovalam
manages, against all odds, to retain much of the charm which made it a
popular beach in the first place. Surfing and swimming are among the other
water sports possible in Kovalam beach. Many people from different
countries and cultures, intermingle with each other and get together in
this paradise of the South and spend their leisure time joyfully.
